Forget about /package.  Pretend it never existed.  Forget all about it.
Only install in /usr/local.  That's it.  For the couple of software that
actually install files at locations other than ${LOCALBASE}/bin, then
modify the said software to pick them up somewhere in ${SYSCONFDIR} (if
it happens you can locally modify it, to configure it), or somewhere in
${LOCALBASE} if you don't.  If you get my drift, do as we always did
with his software.

And keep PERMIT_PACKAGE_* to No as they are now.

Ciao,
